Exploring traces of Jewish Olomouc

The Wandering Synagogue

After the war, a prayer room with an office on the floor of Palackého 2 served the remaining Olomouc Jews.

In the mid-1950s, the prayer room was moved to the house at Dolní náměstí 4.

In 1969, the last move took place, to rooms on the first floor of the house at 7 Komenského Street.

The restored independent Jewish community in Olomouc has existed since 1991. More information about it can be found on the website [https://kehila-olomouc.cz]
